SAMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to new pyrazole derivatives
which are useful as the herbicidal agent, processes of
producing these pyrazole derivatives and also uses of
these pyrazole derivatives. More particularly, this
invention relates to a new N-arylpyrazole derivative
represented by the general formula (I) given hereinafter,
as well as a herbicidal composition comprising said N-
aryl pyrazole derivative as active ingredient. This
invention further relates to processes for the production
of said new N-arylpyrazole derivatives.
BACKGRO~ND OF THE INVENTION
Certain kinds of pyrazole derivatives are already
known to exhibit such physiological activities utilizable
as agricultural chemicals. For instance, Japanese patent
publication No. 19958/65 discloses that a class of N-
phenylpyrazole derivatives represented by the formula
R3 ~ 2
R N~N
4 Rl
wherein Rl is a hydrogen atom or phenyl group, R2 is a
hydrogen atom or a (lower)alkyl group, R3 is a hydrogen
atom, nitro group or cyano group and R4 is a (lower)alkyl
group, amino group or a (lower)alkoxy group shows herbicidal

activity. sesides, Japanese patent publication No.
i4833/67 discloses that an N-(nitro--substituted phenyl)
pyrazole derivative or an N-(chloro-nitro-substituted
phenyl)pyrazole derivative represented by the general
S formula
,~
~ - N
X
CH3 CH3
wherein X is Cl or H exhibits fungicidal activity and is
useful to control fungicidal infections in crop-plants
such as tomato, rice and kidney bean. Nonetheless, such
N-phenylpyrazole derivatives of which the phenyl nucleus
is bearing halogen atoms at the 2- and 4-positions and a
hydroxy group or substituted hydroxy group at the 5-
position in accordance with this invention, as be seen
with the new compounds of this invention, have never
been known before our invention, as far as we are aware
of.
The known particular pyrazole derivatives according
to the Japanese patent publication No. 19958/65 and
No. 14833/67 can exhibit no or little herbicidal activity
and are practically not useEul as the herbicidal agent.
~Z74~33~L

Accordingly, we have made our researches in an attempt
to provide such new pyrazole ~erivatives which show
remarkably higher herbicidal activities than the above-
mentioned known particular pyrazole derivatives, and which
are practicably utilizable as the herbicidal agent for
irrigated field of aquatic rice plant and also as the
herbicidal agent for farm-fields (non-irrigated) for
various kinds of crop-plants.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
With the above-mentioned attempt, we have synthe-
tized a number of pyrazole derivatives and researched
the utilities of the pyrazole derivatives so synthetizedO
As result, we have now found that a class of N-phenyl-
pyrazole derivatives represented by the general formula
(I) as given hereinafter is new compounds which have never
been disclosed in any literatures and that these new M-
phenyl pyrazole derivatives of the general formula (I)
exhibit significantly high herbicidal activity and are
useful as a herbicidal agent in practice.

where Rla, Rlb and RlC represent each a hydrogen, a lower
alkyl, a haloalkyl, a lower alkyl, a lower alkenyl or a

The reaction may usually be conducted in various
solvents including organic solvents such as hydrocarbons,
ethers and alcohols and water. The reaction may
proceed at room tempera~ures, but is preferably carried
out at a higher temperature up to the refluxing tempera-
ture of the solvent used, under heating. After the
completion of the reaction, the solvent may be removed
from the reaction mixture by distillation to recover the
desired reaction product. Alternatively, the desired
product may be recovered by extracting the reaction
mixture with water and an organic solvent such as
benzene, toluene, tetrahydro~uran and chloroform and
distilling off the solvent from the extract to obtain
the desired product.
Process (A) is illustrated in Examples 1 to 5
hereinlater given.
Process (B):
_ _
This process is applicable to the preparation of
compounds (I-B), i.e. those of general formula (I) where
Rla, R lb and RlC represent each a group defined above,
except a (lower)alkylcarbonylamino, a (lower)alkoxy-
carbonylamino, a mono-(lower)alkylaminocarbonylamino and
a di-(lower)alkylaminocarbonylamino, and R2 is hydrogen,
and this process (s) comprises hydrolyzing a compound of
formula (I-C) which is itself within compounds of
general formula (I) and which has as P~2 such a group
hydrolyzable to leave a hydroxyl group on the 5-position
of the benzene ring. This reaction may be represented by
the chemical equation:

The hydrolysis may be effected simply by heating
compound (I-C) together with water or in an aqueous
organic solvent, but usually carried out in the presence
of one equivalent or more of a basic compound. As the
base, there may be used typically an alkali metal
hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide,
or an alkali metal carbonate such as sodium carbonate and
potassium carbonate. The reaction may proceed either at
room temperatures or under heating. The addition of an
alcohol such as methanol or an ether such as dioxane to
the aqueous reaction medium for forming a homogeneous
reaction phase may accelerate the reaction.
After the completion of the reaction, the reaction
- 38 -
solution is made acidic with the addition of an inorganic
acid such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid and then
extracted with an organic solvent such as benzene, toluene,
tetrahyclrofuran and chloroform. The removal of solvent
from the extract by distillation yields -the desired
compound of formula (I-B).
Process (~) is illustrated hereinlater in Examples
6 to 8.
Process_(C):
This process is applicable to the preparation of
compounds (I-D) i.e. those of general formula (I) where
Rla Rlb and RlC have the same meaning as deflned above
and R2 is a group defined above except hydrogen, and
this process (C) comprises reacting a compound of
formula (I-E) where Rla, Rlb and P~lC correspond to those
of the product compound (I-D) and R2 is hydrogen, with a
halide compound of formula (IV) such as an alkyl chloride,
an alkenyl chloride and an alkylsulfonyl chloride. This

This substitution reaction may usuall~ be conducted
in an organic solvent in the presence of an acid binding
agent. As such organic solvent, there may be used
hydrocarbons such as benzene and toluene; ethers suc'n as
ethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran; esters such as methyl
acetate and ethyl acetate; ketones such as acetone and
methyl isobutyl ketone; nitriles such as acetoni~rile and
propionitrile amides such as dimethylformamide and
dimethylacetamide; and dimethyl sulfoxide. The acid
binding agent may be an inorganic base such as sodium
hydroxide, sodium amide and potassium carbonate or an
organic base such as triethylamine and pyridine. The
reaction may be carried out at room temperatures or
under heating to a temperature up to the refluxing tempera-
ture of the solvent used.
After the completion of the reaction, the reaction
mixture may be filtered to remove the salt(s) of the
acid binding agent as formed and then distilled to remove
the solvent used, affording the desired compound (I-D)
produced. Alternatively, the desired compound may be
isolated by adding to the reaction mixture water and an
organic solvent such as benzene, toluene, tetrahydrofuran
and chloroform to extract the compound and distilling off
the solvent from the extract to leave the compound.

be used includes an elementary halogen such as chlorine
and bromine; sulfuryl halides and phosporus halides.
The reaction temperature may be appropriatel-~ chosen from
room temperature to the boiling point of the solvent used.
After the completion of the reaction, the desired
product may be isolated in many cases by distilliny off
the solvent ~rom the reaction mixture. If necessary,
however, water and an organic solvent may be added to
the reaction mixture to extract the desired compound and
the solvent may be distilled off from the extract to
afford the desired compound of formula (I-F)~

there may be used usually nitric acid and fuming nitric
acid. The reaction temperature may be appropriately
chosen from a temperature under cooling with ice-water to
the refluxing temperature of the solvent used.
After the completion of the reaction, the desired

This process is applicable to ~he preparation of
compounds (I-J), i.e. those of general formula (I) where
la~ Rlb and RlC is amino group, and this
process (F) comprises reducing a corresponding nitro-

The reduction may be effected, in general, using
iron or tin or nascent hydrogen as reducing agent.
Usually, water is used as solvent. In most cases, the
addition of a small amount of hydrochloric acid to the
water can promote the reaction intended. The reaction
temperature may be appropriately chosen from a temperature
under cooling with ice-water to the refluxing temperature
of water. Warming up of the reaction mixture may promote
the reaction, shortening the reaction time.
After the completion of the reaction, the desired

compound may be recovered by extracting the reaction
mixture with an organic solvent such as benzene, toluene,

This process is applicable to the preparation of
acylamino-substituted compounds (I-K), i.e. those of
general formula (I) where at least one of Rla, Rlb and RlC
is an aminoalkylcarbonylamino, a lower alkoxycarbonylamino,
a mono-lower alkylaminocarbonylamino or a di-lower
alkylaminocarbonylamino group, and this process (G)

In cases where the acyl group of the acylating
agent to be used in this process (G) i5 a lower alkyl-
carbonyl, a lower alkoxycarbonyl or a di-lower alkylamino-
carbonyl group, the acylation reaction may be carried out
using as acylating agent a lower alkanoic acid chloride
a lower alkyl chloroformate or a di-lower alky]carbamoyl
chloride, respectively, in an organic solvent such as
benzene, chloroform, tetrahydrofuran, acetone and
acetonitrile in the presence of an organic or inorganic
acid binding agent, including an organic base such as
triethylamine and pyridine and an inorganic base such as
anhydrous sodium carbonate and anhydrous potassium carbo-
nate. The reaction temperature may be properly chosen
from a temperature under ice-water cooling ko the
lS refluxing temperature of the solvent used. After the
completion of the reaction, the desired compound may be
recovered from the reaction mi~ture by adding thereto
water and an organic solvent such as benzene, toluene,
tetrahydrofuran and chloroform, separating the organic
layer thus formed and distilling off the organic solvent
to leave the desired compound.
In cases where the acyl group of the acylating
agent to be used in this process (G) is a mono-lower
alkylaminocarbonyl group, the acylation reaction may be
conducted by using a lower alkyl isocyanate in an inert
~7~
- 46 -
solven~ such as benzene, ether, tetrahydrofuran andacetone at a temperature ranging from room temperature to
the refluxing temperature of the solvent used. The
reaction may be accelerated by addiny a catalytic amount
of a tertiary amine such as triethyl amine or an organotin
compound such as dibutyltin diacetate. After the
completion of the reaction, the desired compound rnay be
isolated by distilling off the solvent used from the
reaction mixture.
Process (G) is illustrated by way of Example 20.
Now, referring back to process (A), the substituted
phenylhydrazine compounds of formula (II-A) which is to
be used as starting compound are also new compounds. The
phenylhydrazine compounds of formula (II-A) where R2 is
sulfonyl or a substituted sulfonyl group may be prepared
by process (H) given below which starts from a corres-
ponding substituted phenol of formula (V).

where R is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl or aryl

Intermediate compounds (VI), (VII) and (VIII)
given above are also novel compounds.
In process (H), substituted phenol (V) is first
reacted with a sulfonyl halide RS02Cl or RS02Br to cause
sulfonylation of the phenolic hydroxyl group to form
sulfonyloxy compound (VI). The sulfonylation is preferably
carried out in pyridine which may serve not only as
solvent but also as the acid binding agent. Usually,
this reaction is effected in such a manner that a sulfonyl
halide is added dropwise to a mixture of a dihalophenol
and pyridine under cooling with ice-cold water, followed
by stirring the reaction mixture at room temperature. If

a long time is required for the completion of the reaction,
heating to a suitable temperature which may be up to the
boiling point of pyridine makes it possible to significant-
ly shorten the reaction time. After the reaction,
pyridine salt thus deposited is filtered off and the
pyridine solvent is distilled off to leave sulfonyloxy
compound (VI). This compound may also be obtained from
the reaction mixture above by adding water and an organic
solvent such as benzene, toluene, tetrahydrofuran and
chloroform to extract the compound intended, (VI), washing
the extract with a dilute hydrochloric acid to remove
pyridine and distilling off the solvent used.
Nitro compound (VII) may be prepared by nitrating
sulfonyloxy compound (VI) with nitric acid. The nitration
may be carried out under such mixed acid condition as
usual. Thus, to a mixture of 95% sulfonic acid and
sulfonyloxy compound (VI), is added dropwise a mixture of
an equivalent amount of concentrated nitric acid and 95%
sulfuric acid under ice-water cooling,followed by stirring
~0 the reaction mixture at room temperature until the nitration
reaction becomes complete. Thereafter, the reaction mixture
is added to ice pieces for dilution, to which an oryanic
solvent such as benzene, toluene, tetrahydrofuran and
chloroform is added to extract the desired nitro compound.
Then, the solvent is distilled off from the extract to
" '` ' ` ': ' "` ' . : ' . ,
~7~
a~g --
isolate the nitro compound.
Nitro compound (VII) is then reduced by iron to
give amino compound (VIII). The reduction may usually be
conductedin water as solvent with the addition of a small
amount of hydrochloric acid to promote the reaction.
Heating the reaction mixture to a temperature of 50 - 100C
is preferred to shorten the reaction time. After the
completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture is
extracted with an organic solvent such as benzene,
toluene, tetrahydrofuran and chloroform. The removal of
the solvent from the extract by distillation yields
sulfonyloxyamino compound (VIII).
Subsequent diazotization of amino compound (VIII)
followed by reduction with stannous chloride and hydrochloric
acid results in the formation of hydrazino compound (II-A').
The diazotiazation may be effected by adding amino compound
(VIII) to aqueous hydrochloric acid, followed by adding an
equivalent amount of aqueous sodium nitrite solution
dropwise to the resulting mixture at about -20C. The
subsequent reduction may be achieved by adding the
resulting diazonium salt solution to an aqueous solution
of hydrochloric acid and stannous chloride under ice-
cooling, followed by stirring the mixture at room tempera-
ture. After the completion of the reaction, the mixture
is made weakly alkaline with the addition of an aqueous
50 -
sodium hydroxide solution, then extracted with an oryanic
solvent such as benzene, toluene, tetrahydrofuran and
chloroform. The removal of t~.e solvent from the extract
by distillation affords hydrazino compolmd (II-A').
The preparation of the hydrazine compound (II-A')
according to process (H) is illustrated later in Example 22.
Further, various members of compounds of the
aforesaid formula (I-A) where R2 is of the sulfonyl type
may be prepared in the same manner as that of the
aforesaid process (A) above, and they may be used as
starting compounds for the preparation of other compounds

Test Example 3
This test was to evaluate the herbicidal activit~
of the compounds under test on the weeds predominant in
the non-irrigated farm field of various crop plants, as
well as the phytotoxicity of the compounds to crop plants.
The test of evaluating the herbicidal effects of
the test compounds on the weeds was conducted according
to the following procedure. Thus, each of biscuit pots
having a top surface area of 1/5000 ares was packed with
lQ a farm soil (alluvial soil). Seeds of crabgrass, common
lambsquarters, pigweed and smartweed were sown by mixing
50 seeds of each sort of weed uniformly with the soil
present in the 1 cm deep surface layer of the soil in
each pot and then lightly pressing on the top surface
of the soil in the pot. Two days after the sowing, the
top surface of the soil in the pots was herbicidally
treated by spraying thereon such an aqueous emulsion
preparation containing the compound under test which
had been prepared by diluting with water the emulsifiable
concentrate as formulated by the procedure of Example 28
above, at a rate of application oE 100 ~ per 10 ares of
the field (corresponding to the rate of application of
100 g of the active ingredient per 10 ares). The test
was conducted with two replicates. Thirty days after
the sowing, the herbicidal effects were assessed with
~7~34
-- 119
the same gradings and in the same way as described in
Tast Example 1 above~
The test of evaluating the phytotoxicity to crop
plants was performed according to the following procedure.
Thus, each of buiscuit pots having a top surface area of
1/10,000 ares was packed with a farm soil (alluvial soil).
Seeds of various crop plants, namely 5 seeds of soy bean,
10 seeds of sugar beet, 10 seeds of radish, 10 seeds of
wheat or 5 seeds of maize were sown on the soil surface
in the separate pots, followed by lightly pressing on the
top surface of the soil. One day after the sowing, the
soil surface was treated by spraying thereon an aqueous
emulsion preparation containing the test compound which
had been prepared by diluting with water the emulsifiable
concentrate as made in Example 28 above, at a rate of
application of 100 Q of the emulsion preparation per
10 ares of the field (corresponding to the rate of appli-
cation of 100 g of the active ingredient per 10 ares).
The test was conducted with two duplicates. Thirty days
~0 after the treatment with the test compounds, the phyto-
toxicity of the tested compounds to germinated crop plants
was assesssed in- the same way and with the same gradings
as set out in Test Example 1 above. The results obtained
are summarized in Table 4 below.

Test Example 4
This test was to evaluate the herbicidal effects
of the compounds under test on -the weeds predominant in
the non-irrigated farm field of various crop plants, as
well as the phytotoxicity of the compounds to crop plant
when the compounds were applied at low rates of application
of 50, 25 or 12.5 g of the active compound per 10 ares.
The procedure of Test Example 3 above was repeated,
except that the herbicidal treatment of the weeds pre-
dominant in the farm field (non-irrigated) was effected
by applying the test compounds at low rates. The herbi-
cidal effects on the weeds and the phytotoxicity to crop
plants were assessed in -~he same way as in Test Example 3
and with the same gradings as set out in Test Example 1
above. The test results obtained are shown in Table 5
